Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolNicolas Mellado is a computer graphics researcher and entrepreneurial technologist with 12 years of experience bridging academic research and product engineering. As Co-founder and CSO of RollingDot and a full-time researcher at CNRS/STORM-IRIT, he specializes in shape analysis, geometry processing and efficient point-cloud registration—authoring the widely used Super4PCS implementation in C++. His background spans INRIA and UCL postdocs and includes practical engineering work (web-based 3D pipelines, Meshlab integrations) and teaching C++ and rendering. Comfortable moving between low-level algorithm design and production-ready systems, he combines rigorous PhD-level research with startup execution in Toulouse. An interesting detail: his open-source contributions include core algorithmic code integrated with Eigen/OpenCV and other spatial libraries, reflecting both theoretical depth and hands-on performance optimization.
